Then he went to district school for time,
but learned little At last his parents woke
m to the fact that he needed looking after.
and so they sent him to girls school kept by
his sister. There he was the only boy among
forty girls, and there he got the reputation
of being most inveterate Joker.
1t was a little later than this that he formed
the dream to 20 to sea. He had read OF Capt
Cook and kindred books, and he thought
that is strange climes he would be able to work
wonders His father, who desired him to en-
ter the ministry, shrewdly humored the
idea and told him that TO be a good sailor he
should understand navigation, etc, and the
boy readily consented to attend mathemati-
cal school. Before his course was over ne
had changed his mind about being a sailor,
and at his fathers request entered Amherst
college. from which he was graduated In
1894 Then he studied theology under his
father at Lane seminary, Cincinnati, and was
settled us a minister at Lawrenceburg, Ind,
in 1897 At about this time be married
Eunice White Bullard, and the issue OF this
marriage was ten children, OF whom
four are now living. Beecher early began to
advocate the anti-slavery cause, and his SER
mons were frequently upon the subject OK
slavery and always strongly denunclatory.
II was. perhaps, partly because the feeling IN
Indiana was so intensely opposed To Mr.
Beecher's views that he consented, in lS47, to
become pastor Of the young church then just
ORGANIZED. which has since become so famous
as Plymouth church But his wife's health
/ was bad. too, and though ne was at that time
well settled in indianapolis. he accepted the
BROOKLYN call. Plymouth church has had
no other pastor. and it has become the most
famous church organization IN the world.
In 1855 Mr.. Beecher worked hard for the
election of Fremont, and in 1860 for Lincoln.
During the war ne was an ardent Union man,
and In 1863 he went 10 England and made
many speeches tending 10 help the cause Of
the north. He was at first used roughly and
was mobbed in Liverpool, but he persevered
and finally succeeded in turning popular
opinion there
l. Mr. Beecher was a journalist Of great
mower From 1860 To 1868 he was editor OF
The New York Independent and he
contributed TO its columns for sew
.ral wears after. He was the editor of
The Christian Union for several years and be
contributed yoluminously to many paperz
and published many books. some OF which
are familiar the world over.
The Tilton scandal came out in 1874, when
Theodore Tilton charged the pastor with
alternating Mrs. Titon's affections and brought
, suit for $4,000. The trial Of the case occu
pied four months, and very able counse
was employed ON both sides. The 10
result was disagreement, the jury stand
ing nine to three for Beecher. TiltoI

"GENTLE SPRING."

And the bullfrog and the blizzard will trade
places in the bog;
And the crocus and the locust will begin their

Andt the gentle goddess Ceres will be lying round

Soon again the prurent poets. both facetious and
Fictitious,

Soon again the giddy gusher will assume an air
most vicious,
And again by her enchantment every dude VIII

Soon bluff boreas so bitter, will give birds show
And the lambs will take occasion, as girls often
do, 10 skip,
And the soda fountain fellows, IN their sleeves

Soon AGAIN The weary merchant will lay OF a day

And with grub grubs, grog and tackle will set
forth at dawn Of day;
But in spite Of all his efforts, and his almost
wtching wishing,
He will only carry homeward what the Jug first

Sweet spring! | dearly love you, and you cannot
be too vernal;
Excuse that strange expression, but it tells you

What wish. indeed most truly, that your stay

Iwould gladly be your poet if you wished me

I'd be proud and pleased to tell you very often OF

All your graces and your glories in my sweetest

DEATH OF THE GREAT PASTOR OF
PLYMOUTH CHURCH.
His Career as a Preacher, a Politician, and
a Lecturer-His Early Years-His Mar
riage i'm Indiana-The Great Trial on Ac-
cusations Made by Theodore Tiiton.

NEW YORK, March S.-Henry Ward
Beecher died this morning. He began 70
sink slowly after midnight, and watchers
at his bedside soon saw that the end was
near. Mr.. Beecher passed quietly away
while asleep. He never recovered con-
sciousness after the paralysis stupefied
his mind 1t is, of course, too early yet
TO obtain anything definite as to the
funeral, but the interment will probably
be in Greenwood. Mr.. Beecher never
bought lot there, but his children and
some of his grandchildren lie on Ever
green Hill, in the plot of Mrs. John L:
| Howard. Mr.. Beecher's twin babies died
on the same day, when the afterwards
famous preacher was young and poor
and comparatively unknown. He was
living at the time in Mr. Howard's house,
and was given space on Evergreen Hill.
1t is possible that Plymouth church or
the citizens of Brooklyn at large will buy
the plot and erect handsome monument.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher died in
the presence of his family. Those present
at the bedside were Colonel II. b. Beecher,
his wife, his daughters Hattie and Daisy,
and son Henry Ward Beecher Miss Edith

An Alleged Telegraph Deal.

NEW YORK, March s.-The Sun, in Its
financial article says that its inquiries
have resulted in some confirmation OF
the view that important negotiations are
pending in telegraph matters. The In
dications are that some of the capitalists
interested in the East Tennessee, the
Richmond Terminal and other corpora
tions have obtained some sort OF agree,
ment between the Western Union and
the Baltimore and Ohio companies, and
the end to be accomplished is not only an
Improvement of the telegraph situation
but of the railroad situation as well

whether it will be successfully concluded
